Just sharing a few projects. The first 2 photos show the same jar, taken 4 days apart. Photo 3 shows some Azurescens spawn in a tub looking for more food. In photo 4, I went out and harvested sticks of live Hickory and Oak and fermented them for a few days, then pressed them onto the surface of another tub of Azurescens spawn. Slowly watching it become engulfed. I'll share another photo when they're all white, and at this rate, it might only be a week. If anyone has considered doing this, it works well as a free substrate, although somewhat labor intensive. The last photo shows one of my jars of Mega Ochraceocentrata that I inoculated using a full spore syringe I made myself. This is after 10 days of growth and one break and shake. My other jars which I used only half a spore syringe are just as healthy, only half as colonized, like you would expect from using a full syringe vs half syringe. Thankfully, none seem over hydrated and healthy.
